How does one zoom this with the wheel without having the mouse pointer hover 
over the zoom slider?

Oh. Hold Ctrl.  I didn't know that, after all these years.

Anyway, it's still a fair point.  The most obvious way to zoom something is 
going to be with the mouse over the slider, so it seems like the position of 
the mouse pointer might not be interesting a lot of the time.

Zooming so that the playback pointer stays in the center seems like it might 
be a reasonable compromise.  I can't remember how this used to work either, 
but after poking around with it just now, it strikes me as being easy to wind 
up lost after doing a bit of zooming.

I don't think that necessarily means Ted's fix was bad though, because I'm 
pretty sure it has always been easy to wind up lost after doing a bit of 
zooming here.
